Book Synopsis Building Godly Nations by : Stephen K. McDowell
Download or read book Building Godly Nations written by Stephen K. McDowell and published by Providence Foundation. This book was released on 2004-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus commissioned believers to "make disciples of all nations," which, according to Bible Commentator Matthew Henry, means to "do your utmost to make the nations Christian nations." How do we make the nations Christian? How do we build Godly nations? The Bible teaches that if a people obey God's laws they will have liberty, peace, prosperity, and justice. But we must obey all of God's laws to experience the abundance of God's blessing. To the extent we obey in all areas of life, is the extent we will experience the Godly fruit of liberty. The Founders of America understood this vital truth and attempted to build the nation upon the precepts of God, and though not without fault, their efforts produced the best example of a Christian nation in history. Thus there are many important lessons we can learn from the American Founders as we seek to build Godly nations today. This book examines the mandate for building Godly nations, lessons from America's Christian history, and how to apply Biblical principles to governing the nations.

Book Synopsis One Nation Under God by : Kevin M. Kruse
Download or read book One Nation Under God written by Kevin M. Kruse and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The provocative and authoritative history of the origins of Christian America in the New Deal era We're often told that the United States is, was, and always has been a Christian nation. But in One Nation Under God, historian Kevin M. Kruse reveals that the belief that America is fundamentally and formally Christian originated in the 1930s. To fight the "slavery" of FDR's New Deal, businessmen enlisted religious activists in a campaign for "freedom under God" that culminated in the election of their ally Dwight Eisenhower in 1952. The new president revolutionized the role of religion in American politics. He inaugurated new traditions like the National Prayer Breakfast, as Congress added the phrase "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance and made "In God We Trust" the country's first official motto. Church membership soon soared to an all-time high of 69 percent. Americans across the religious and political spectrum agreed that their country was "one nation under God." Provocative and authoritative, One Nation Under God reveals how an unholy alliance of money, religion, and politics created a false origin story that continues to define and divide American politics to this day.
Book Synopsis Liberating the Nations by : Stephen McDowell
Download or read book Liberating the Nations written by Stephen McDowell and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book is to supplement all the good material that is available that addresses personal evangelism and prayer in changing men and nations. The principles of the Bible affect all of life, including families, education, churches, the media, government, economics, and business. In this book Liberating the Nations we attempt to provide principles from the Bible that apply to these areas. Our Goal is by no means to be exhaustive, but merely introduce in a general way to the citizens of nations a framework for building their societies in accordance with a Biblical view of Life. This book represents our attempt, in a small way, to equip people to “go … and make disciples of all the nations,” by “teaching them to observe all that {He} commanded” (Mathew 28:19). It is given with the prayer that the kingdoms of this world will become, in their actions and acknowledgements, the Kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ”. -Stephen McDowell & Mark Beliles.
Book Synopsis The Myth of a Christian Nation by : Gregory A. Boyd
Download or read book The Myth of a Christian Nation written by Gregory A. Boyd and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2009-05-18 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The church was established to serve the world with Christ-like love, not to rule the world. It is called to look like a corporate Jesus, dying on the cross for those who crucified him, not a religious version of Caesar. It is called to manifest the kingdom of the cross in contrast to the kingdom of the sword. Whenever the church has succeeded in gaining what most American evangelicals are now trying to get – political power – it has been disastrous both for the church and the culture. Whenever the church picks up the sword, it lays down the cross. The present activity of the religious right is destroying the heart and soul of the evangelical church and destroying its unique witness to the world. The church is to have a political voice, but we are to have it the way Jesus had it: by manifesting an alternative to the political, “power over,” way of doing life. We are to transform the world by being willing to suffer for others – exercising “power under,” not by getting our way in society – exercising “power over.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook reveals God's blueprint to transform Nations of the world. As we enter into the last stretch of the season leading to the Second Coming of Christ, the Owner of the whole Earth is about to recover unto Himself all that is His. As such, He expects us, His Bride, to "Occupy till He comes." Occupying entails holding the fort, shaping and impacting the culture of our environment through the enthronement of the rule of God in all spheres of life. This will be achieved when the transformation agents, tongue-talking, with displacement anointing, partners with a united Body of Christ to stir up Christian soldiers and disciple them to take the necessary steps needed to successfully exert godly influence on the society. Four cardinal strategies have been elucidated followed by corresponding action plan. A work plan has also been drawn up for ease of execution. This is a wonderful working tool for the Church and individual Christians to enable them to fast-track the fulfilment of their purpose which will culminate into the transformation of their nations. Njideka is the International Coordinator of The Remnants Fellowship, a nondenominational family fellowship based in Lagos, Nigeria focused on building up Christian soldiers to fulfill endtime divine purpose through the fulfillment of their individual purposes. She runs this ministry on a full time basis in addition to being a Life Coach. As a market place apostle, Njideka's ultimate passion is to see the society and people transformed through Kingdom principles. Over the years, the Lord gave her four key principles which the Church should use to transform nations of the world. She has been practicing and teaching these in and out of Nigeria, and has eventually published them in this Handbook.Njideka holds a first degree in French, an MBA in Banking and Finance, as well as a PGD in Bible & Leadership studies. She retired as an Assistant Vice-President of a Bank and went into financial consultancy and real estate development until God called her to full time ministry. She is married with five adult children and lives in Lagos with her family.
Book Synopsis Building a Spiritual Nation by : Theodore Andoseh
Download or read book Building a Spiritual Nation written by Theodore Andoseh and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spiritual nation is an organ possessed by the Holy Spirit for the accomplishment of God's end-time purposes. Through a distinct relationship with God, Moses built the nation of Israel around the major vector of making them into the people of God and making out of them a people for God. Prophet Samuel brought in the fulness of God through his walk with God to offer the nation of Israel a spiritual model in three distinct domains—an unusual walk with God; a distinct ministry, and leadership blamelessness. King David brought in might in nine domains in forging the nation of Israel. His invincible arsenal of mighty men, mighty deeds, mighty hearts, mighty numbers, mighty faith, and teams of mighty men brought uncountable victories that ushered Israel into a great nation. The Lord Jesus Christ came to found a great kingdom with many units called nations by making disciples and by making those, who like him, will make disciples—and the apostles were the builders. In a sense, every ministry, every community, has a founder and the rest are builders of that spiritual community. In this live narrative compilation from the 14th session of the annual 40-day Praise, Prayer, and Fasting Crusade of our community, a portrait of a great spiritual nation and spiritual nation builders is projected and prayed through for the community in the light of the lessons learned from the above four outstanding Biblical models. The Lord bless you exceedingly as you relive this life-changing event!!

Download or read book The Benedict Option written by Rod Dreher and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Already the most discussed and most important religious book of the decade." —David Brooks In this controversial bestseller, Rod Dreher calls on American Christians to prepare for the coming Dark Age by embracing an ancient Christian way of life. From the inside, American churches have been hollowed out by the departure of young people and by an insipid pseudo–Christianity. From the outside, they are beset by challenges to religious liberty in a rapidly secularizing culture. Keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House may have bought a brief reprieve from the state’s assault, but it will not stop the West’s slide into decadence and dissolution. Rod Dreher argues that the way forward is actually the way back—all the way to St. Benedict of Nursia. This sixth-century monk, horrified by the moral chaos following Rome’s fall, retreated to the forest and created a new way of life for Christians. He built enduring communities based on principles of order, hospitality, stability, and prayer. His spiritual centers of hope were strongholds of light throughout the Dark Ages, and saved not just Christianity but Western civilization. Today, a new form of barbarism reigns. Many believers are blind to it, and their churches are too weak to resist. Politics offers little help in this spiritual crisis. What is needed is the Benedict Option, a strategy that draws on the authority of Scripture and the wisdom of the ancient church. The goal: to embrace exile from mainstream culture and construct a resilient counterculture. The Benedict Option is both manifesto and rallying cry for Christians who, if they are not to be conquered, must learn how to fight on culture war battlefields like none the West has seen for fifteen hundred years. It's for all mere Christians—Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox—who can read the signs of the times. Neither false optimism nor fatalistic despair will do. Only faith, hope, and love, embodied in a renewed church, can sustain believers in the dark age that has overtaken us. These are the days for building strong arks for the long journey across a sea of night.

Book Synopsis The Old Faith in a New Nation by : Paul J. Gutacker
Download or read book The Old Faith in a New Nation written by Paul J. Gutacker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional wisdom holds that tradition and history meant little to nineteenth-century American Protestants, who relied on common sense and "the Bible alone." The Old Faith in a New Nation challenges this portrayal by recovering evangelical engagement with the Christian past. Even when they appeared to be most scornful toward tradition, most optimistic and forward-looking, and most confident in their grasp of the Bible, evangelicals found themselves returning, time and again, to Christian history. They studied religious historiography, reinterpreted the history of the church, and argued over its implications for the present. Between the Revolution and the Civil War, American Protestants were deeply interested in the meaning of the Christian past. Paul J. Gutacker draws from hundreds of print sources-sermons, books, speeches, legal arguments, political petitions, and more-to show how ordinary educated Americans remembered and used Christian history. While claiming to rely on the Bible alone, antebellum Protestants frequently turned to the Christian past on questions of import: how should the government relate to religion? Could Catholic immigrants become true Americans? What opportunities and rights should be available to women? To African Americans? Protestants across denominations answered these questions not only with the Bible but also with history. By recovering the ways in which American evangelicals remembered and used Christian history, The Old Faith in a New Nation shows how religious memory shaped the nation and interrogates the meaning of "biblicism."

Book Synopsis How the Nations Rage by : Jonathan Leeman
Download or read book How the Nations Rage written by Jonathan Leeman and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can the church move forward in unity amid such political strife and cultural contention? As Christians, we’ve felt pushed to the outskirts of national public life, yet even within our congregations we are divided about how to respond. Some want to strengthen the evangelical voting bloc. Others focus on social justice causes, and still others would abandon the public square altogether. What do we do when brothers and sisters in Christ sit next to each other in the pews but feel divided and angry? Is there a way forward? In How the Nations Rage, political theology scholar and pastor Jonathan Leeman challenges Christians from across the spectrum to hit the restart button by shifting our focus from redeeming the nation to living as a nation already redeemed rejecting the false allure of building heaven on earth while living faithfully as citizens of a heavenly kingdom letting Jesus’ teaching shape our public engagement as we love our neighbors and seek justice When we identify with Christ more than a political party or social grouping, we can return to the church’s unchanging political task: to become the salt and light Jesus calls us to be and offer the hope of his kingdom to the nations.
Book Synopsis The Role of the Church in Nation Building by : Moses Bol
Download or read book The Role of the Church in Nation Building written by Moses Bol and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Role of the Church in Nation Building contains sermons from 2009 to 2019. These are indeed words of renewal as the subtitle confesses. These handpicked yearly sermons educate your mind about what it means to be a born again Christian. This book helps you think about your individual roles in nation building, before you complain about what others aren't doing right. The book defines Trinity as a unity we all must embrace as individual Christians in South Sudan, Africa and as the body of Christ all over the world. It teaches us how to relate and be united with God in a personal level. This personal relationship with God affects how we treat our own selves and others around us. The book divides the year into church times and seasons, where different things happen. This yearly division occurs throughout the book for a purpose of making each year's plans and actions as clear as possible. As the book itself is made of words, sentences, paragraphs and pages, each year is made up of microseconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks and months. As you read this book, we pray that your soul may find true peace--peace beyond the written documents. We hope that you will experience personal identity with God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We pray that this union with God will bring true peace and joy into your life, family, tribe and nation. God bless you!
